Categories     Bean     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 13

extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno chile pepper, seeded, minced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ancho or chipotle chile powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth, increase or decrease liquid by 1/2 cup for a thinner or thicker soup, respectively
1 (4 oz) can fire-roasted green chiles
1/4 cup enchilada sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add in the onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne to the pot, and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken broth, green chiles, and enchilada sauce. Bring to a boil, then add in the chicken breast. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, flipping the chicken halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove the chicken from the broth, and place in a bowl. With two forks, shred chicken. Set aside. Using an immersion blender, regular blender, or food processor, blend the broth until smooth. Add the shredded chicken into the soup, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the chicken to sit in the soup over low heat for about 20 minutes so that it can continue to absorb the flavors. You can also let the soup sit for a few hours off of the heat before reheating on the stove. Serve with accoutrements.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey. I make it every year after Thanksgiving.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the chicken and the corn, and they don't even notice the spinach.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I usually omit it from this recipe. The soup is still delicious without it.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add a can of corn and a can of black beans to make it even more hearty.

I love the flavors in this soup. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful. I also love the fact that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.
